'Tis The (Magnified) Silly Season

Every year near Thanksgiving, "The Silly Season" kicks off. It's almost like you can watch it following Santa Claus down the road at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. "Oh, look! There's Santa!!" "Yep. And there's supreme idiocy following right along behind him." Thankfully, in years past, the idiocy was somewhat contained to specific dates. Black Friday. Cyber Monday (and thank God we don't patrol the virtual world). Most of December up to and including Christmas Eve. And that increased stupidity we encountered mostly revolved around shopping. Welcome to the dawning of a new era.
This year, still thinking about shopping, we didn't get to wait until Black Friday. Many a commercial entity, eager to start getting dollars out of shoppers' pockets as early in the season as possible, opened their doors on Thanksgiving itself. So, instead of only having to deal with the usual variety of domestics, drunks, etc. on Thanksgiving Day, we had to extend our refereeing talents to the lines of shoppers, arguing shoppers, fighting shoppers, poor driving shoppers… Well, you get the idea. The madness related to holiday shopping came early. To make matters worse, not only did retailers start Black Friday before Friday, they've extended the sales and hype so Black Friday's stupidity level is stretching out to several weeks in length. JOY! But wait, there's more…
Just in case that wasn't enough, we have a few extra tidbits unique to this year that you'll also likely have impact your work day somehow. Let's start with "the end of the world as we know it" according to the Mayan calendar. For those in the know and in touch with reality, this is no big deal. We've educated ourselves enough to realize that the Mayan calendar marks time in a collection of eras and 12/21/2012 marks the end of one of many eras. There are plenty more to come. The Mayan calendar simply predicts 12/21/2012 as the date a noticeable change occurs in the world as we know it. Let's consider this for just a moment and realize that, from the Mayan's perspective, 12/21/2012 occurred months ago (as we measure time). How can that be? Because the current calendar has February 29th on it every four years. Such did not exist when the Mayans carved their eras into stones a few thousand years ago. So, if you take out all the February 29ths that have passed since the Mayan's made their calendar, "the end of the world as we know it" occurred sometime last June I think. Will this logical and rational approach toward the Mayan calendar prevent related mass stupidity? Nope.
We all know that some people are just naturally driven toward stupidity and seek out any even-remotely-valid excuse to behave as they see fit – no matter how ridiculous or illegal. Such folks will cling to their reality: that 12/21/2012 marks the end of the world so they have to get their selfish party on as much as possible before their life ends. I remind everyone of the Y2K silliness that we experienced and dealt with, and encourage you to remain as vigilant on 12/20-22/2012 as you were on 12/31/1999.
Next up is a truly sad and world-changing event: the apparent end of Twinkies. I say "apparent" because nothing prevents the recipe from being bought and the sweet treat being made by a different baking company. That said, it may not be called a "Twinkie" so we may have actually seen the end of the product.
Twinkies have long been linked both to police work and, at least in two movies, to potentially world-ending or severely-world-altering events. First, the cop side: Ever since the classic Die Hard premiere movie, with Sgt. Al Powell's reciting of the recipe contents of a Twinkie and carrying an armload of them out to his cruiser, Twinkies and cops have been connected. To make matters worse, depending on how you look at it, that was also a holiday movie occurring at Christmas time. With the demise of Twinkies, that scene becomes an instant classic, never to be lost to the annals of time, and always to be revered by cops everywhere with earnest remembrance.

You've gotten this idea in your head that existentialism expouses viewpoints that it does not. Until you accept that, there is no moving forward. Given that this is one of three threads in a row that you've started where you've done this exact thing (defined a term incorrectly, argued against your definition, and then glossed over attempts by people to explain to you that you've gotten it wrong), I do not think it likely that you're going to be able to understand it without devoting some time to researching the subject beyond the "read some wikipedia pages" level. I do not consider it a good use of my time to act as your philosophy tutor when you are clearly not making more than a token effort to understand the views you are arguing against. Go to the library, borrow a book by Sartre, and read it.
However, I would agree with you that if determinism is correct and compatibalism is not, then attempting to understand existentialism is largely useless. However, just because people don't agree with your purely deterministic viewpoint does not mean that they are in denial and you are correct. You might be correct, but you're going to have to prove it, then prove that determinism is not compatible with compatibalism. Simply making blanket statements does not prove your point. Is the mind an illusion? If so, then our discussion is also an illusion, yet it still holds meaning and value for us. By declaring things such as mind, freedom, self, etc as illusory, you seem to be the one making arguments similar to solipsism; the real world, free will, the mind, and the self may indeed be illusory, but it is both far from conclusively proven and currently of no benefit to us to treat them as such.
Skept wrote:And what was essence again? For some essence is the soul.
For Kirkegaard essence was "nature". And oh boy, how are we gonna define "nature" again?
These are perfect examples of what you're doing. Sartre did not define "essence" as "the soul" (which is itself a very vague word) and Kirkegaard did not define "nature" as "the material world". If you argue against these terms as meaning something they do not, then you are making a straw man argument. If you're going to argue against Sartre's position (which was not identical to Kirkegaard's position, one was an atheistic existentialist and one was a theistic existentialist), then you have to use the definitions of the terms that he used. If you do not know the definitions, then making one up and arguing against it is ridiculous.

Hair Rules, one of New York City's top salons, prides themselves on working with all hair types, from baby-thin locks to kinky curls. They developed this weightless shampoo to help everyone get bouncy, healthy hair that is soft to the touch. Made with light moisturizers, the formula volumizes all kinds of hair while battling frizz and mending split ends. We're going to go ahead and call it a hometown hero.
I ordered this without a sample first. I was very disappointed. It does smell nice but does not clean well. It is probably the worst shampoo I have ever used and I wish I had returned it...but now I have waited too long
This shampoo cleaned my hair and smelled good but it did not suds much and I felt like I was always using a ton of it to get all my hair clean, I won't buy again.
I loved this shampoo's smell and after wash it made my hair feel very clean. I would definitely puchase a full size of this shampoo!
This shampoo is great esp for the low price! It smells great and leaves your hair feeling very clean. It has a great light scent that you can small all day! I def recommend it for people who need volume!
I bought the full size bottle of this shampoo. I thought the price was good, so I decided to give it a try. I did not notice exceptional volume, but it did the job. I felt that it took a little bit more product to cleanse my hair than other shampoos
This shampoo does not lather up, thus, I felt like my hair never really got good and clean. I could not tell any difference in volume either.
A light weight shampoo that did not weigh my hair down. A good product, that did work. Although for the price I would have liked a stronger scent so I am not sure I would purchase this again. I feel like it is comparable to some of the drug store brands, and not worth 15 a bottle.
I purchased this product because I am always looking to add volume to my extremely fine hair but this didn't do it for me. It didn't lather, but I didn't expect it to. What I didn't expect though, was for it to strip my hair of moisture and make it feel really dry. I am wondering if it will work better on my fall colored hair- it didn't do well with my highlights. I love the smell and really wanted to like this!
I will say it smelled good. I wish it worked good as well. I could never tell if I used enough or if my hair was getting clean. I never felt like it was clean, so not buying this again.
This shampoo smells great and I thought the suds really got going. I have chemically treated hair and it does not feel moisture stripping, like some other shampoos that I have tried before. I will definitely buy again! Also, the price is great.

The Centre for Anthropology aims to be the leading research hub which locates digital technologies in the rich context of human society and culture... full description
The volume edited by Heather Horst and Daniel Miller is the manifesto for the Centre of Digital Anthropology and is the handbook for the Master... full description
About the Programme
The MSc in Digital Anthropology, the teaching arm of the Centre for Digital Anthropology, is a cutting-edge taught postgraduate programme that combines professional development and methods training, with a solid grounding in anthropological theory and critical analysis. Based within the Material Culture section of the UCL Anthropology Department, the MSc is the first program to embed digital studies so deeply within anthropology. We locate the complex field of information and communication technologies, digital media and tools in a global, comparative context, using the rich tools of field-based methods and their commitment to long-term study and community.
Digital technologies have become ubiquitous. From mobile phones, personal computers, to public records keeping, voting, and surgical procedures. Increasingly every aspect of many peoples lives is experienced digitally. Museum displays migrate to the internet, family communication in the Diaspora is dominated by new media, labour is intermingled with automated systems. More and more people are defined by their exclusion from these new digital worlds, even as they may provide the raw materials for these digital infrastructures. As well as studying the differential take-up of digital technologies, today's students need to become proficient with digital technologies as research and communication tools, to understand their histories and limitations. In the MSc students will be trained for further research and involvement in this emergent world through introduction to anthropological methods, to critical thinking from an anthropological perspective, and a specific engagement with key sites and practices in which people interact with digital technologies around the world.
This programme is suitable both for those with a prior degree in anthropology but also for those with degrees in other disciplines who wish to be trained in anthropological and related approaches to digital culture. In addition to our intensive practical and research methods and theory-based seminars, students will have the opportunity to network with practitioners through seminar series and workshops, to arrange internships, and develop their own intensive research projects.
More information generally applicable to all postgraduate programmes within the department can be found on the Masters Degree web page of UCL Anthropology. Contact Dr. Stefana Broadbent (email@example.com) with any questions not answered on these pages

text: I used a Korky universal fill valve replacment in my Toto Ultimate toilet. The replacment fixed my original problem, which was that the valve sputtered and shut on and off while filling the tank. However, the water level in the bowl is too low now after flushing. If I hold down the handle, the bowl fills to the normal level. The water fill hose is clipped to the overflow tube and I can see that water is flowing steadily into the tube while the tank if filling. But it seems like the water flowing from beneath the fill valve cap fills the tank before enough water flows into the bowl through the overflow tube. The fill hose is not kinked and water flows through it freely, so I don't think it is obstructed. Could this be because I used the universal Korky fill valve instead of the one made specifically for Toto toilets?

I am not proud to say this, but somebody has to: I am wholeheartedly hoping Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks can continue their impressive winning streak as the NBA's regular season comes to a close.
Before I get into this, let's get something straight. The Denver Nuggets are still my team. They are the team to beat in the Western Conference. They have speed, they have excitement and they have depth. I like their chances for making a strong run in the post season; hopefully, they can reach the NBA Finals this year.
If they do reach the NBA Finals, it seems like a foregone conclusion that they will face LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
Most will tell you that the Heat are the best team in the NBA right now and I would be remiss to say anything different.
But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
As the Miami Heat has exhibited basketball greatness over the past few years, with the LeBron, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh trio, I don't have a beef with the team. In fact, I've written here several times before of how impressed I am with them, and especially the super-hero powers that LeBron seems to exhibit, on the basketball court.
But my feelings about the Heat soured recently, when they were in the midst of their almost-record-breaking 27-game winning streak. It was an impressive winning streak, to say the least, even though it fell five games short of the 1972 Los Angeles Lakers record.
While that was going on, the Denver Nuggets were on a winning streak of their own, which eventually reached 15 games, breaking a franchise record.
Here in the western half of Colorado, you'd think the Nuggets' winning streak would have been the talk of the town, and in some small circles, it certainly was. For the most part, though, the Heat's winning streak dwarfed the Nuggets' winning streak. Yes, 27 games is much more impressive than 15 games but we are talking about the Denver Nuggets here. The Nuggets' winning streak was much more of a surprise than the Heat's, especially because the Western Conference is so much better than the Eastern Conference.
Regardless, all anyone wanted to talk about was how damn good the Heat are this year.
"Hell of a winning streak for George Karl and the Nuggets," I said to mustached man sitting at one of Telluride's popular sports bars, simply making small talk.
"The Heat are crazy good this year," he replied, completely ignoring my comment.
Believe it or not, I had similar conversations in Montrose and Ridgway, as well, and I was forced to ponder the reality of what was going on. When did western Colorado become so full of South Beach goons? All of a sudden, they were crawling around everywhere. I don't know if there are a lot of basketball fans jumping on the bandwagon or if there is a huge influx of south Florida residents moving to western Colorado.
"Did you see LeBron last night? Dude does things I didn't even know where possible," said one goon.
"The Heat aren't going to lose one game in the playoffs," said another.
"It's like they belong in a league of their own," said another.
Give me a break. I mean, if I am forced to listen to all of this Miami Heat talk from people who seem to know Miami, at least they could serve me some good Cuban food while I'm forced to listen to it. Right? It's like a new breed of Patriots fans.
Being forced to refrain from going anywhere near an establishment that might spark NBA basketball talk, I decided to take a break from sipping beers with others, and instead sought safety within the confines of my office. Better to work than play, anyway I thought. Nobody would mess with me there. It's all business at The Watch.
Sure enough, there was another South Beach goon out to convert me, and he, too, wanted to talk about how great the Heat are this year. Now, Adam Smith may know his music, but I question his ability to properly critique an effective zone defense. There's just no escape from the escalating South Beach madness.
So after one particularly long diatribe against our Denver Nuggets, I emailed our esteemed publisher demanding that we improve our hiring standards; no more South Beach goons slipping through the cracks.
And second, I decided to become a New York Knicks fan for the remainder of the season.
On Sunday, Carmelo Anthony and the rest of the Knicks went to Oklahoma City and beat the Thunder 125-120, marking their 12th straight win. Under any other circumstances, I despise the Knicks and really despise Anthony.
But the Knicks are the Eastern Conference's only hope of knocking the Heat out of the playoffs, when the time comes. It's a long shot, but the Knicks are all we have now, in what has turned out to be a weak, very weak conference. And rooting for the Knicks won't be all that hard for Nuggets fans like myself because, well, the New York Knicks really are the Denver Nuggets of three or four years ago. With the likes of Anthony, J.R. Smith, Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton, and Kenyon Martin, it's like taking a step back in time and cheering for the Nuggets anyway.
If my wishes were to come true, the NBA Finals would be a matchup of the Nuggets and the Knicks – a matchup of Nuggets both old and new.
The best part of this finals scenario is that it doesn't contain the Miami Heat. And without the Heat in the finals, perhaps we can quash this recent influx of Heat lovers in the region.

2011 South East European Film Festival Business Conference - Panel 2: New Media, Marketing, and Distribution of Foreign Language Films
The 2011 SEE FEST Business Conference offered a unique platform for discussions on the following topics:
1. How to access and structure financing for international productions, and develop emerging co-production projects involving Hollywood and European financing.
2. Are local governmental incentives the only reason for Hollywood producers to shoot films in Eastern Europe? What local production incentives and co-production markets offer American producers? What role can Hollywood-based East European expat filmmakers play in bridging the financial divide?
3. What to expect when producing overseas including the use of local crews, stages, post-production facilities and locations, and the legal and business practices involved.
4. How to find distribution, pique interest and "get the word out" to both specialized as well as general audiences, and the role specialty festivals play as the launching pad for foreign language films.
5. New technologies, digital platforms, social media; how should you approach digital distribution and what are your options? The myth and the reality of new media and the marketing mix for foreign language films in the U.S. marketplace.
Designed to facilitate and promote international alliances and financial partnerships, the SEE FEST Conference presented two panels that addressed project development and financing, production capacities in South Eastern Europe with emphasis on developing co-production opportunities, and distribution models for niche foreign-language films from a joint Hollywood-South East European perspective.
Panel 1: Development & Financing of International Productions; Co-Production Opportunities

That's right! The other methods produce that answer too. If you program it you will get the same answer. They just are not necessary.
Isn't it just 6/14 =3/7 ?

Lets rephrase the original cookies question in a different way. Suppose the 14 cookies are lined up in a row. What is the probability that the 7th cookie from the left is a chocolate-chip one?
Yep, and there could be no fives or 4 fives before. Point is, we can say nothing about the 14 cards above.
There are many different ways in which it can turn out to be a five.
What information do you have about it? You do not look at the first 14 cards.
Nope. When you have gone down to the fifteenth card you already have the information of the fourteen cards above

As I try to understand why Wolf's contemporaries haven't quite worked, I realize that her characters simply don't seem very, well, contemporary. Nor do her plots. That Summer is a case in point.
The heroine is Anne Foster. She lived on Wellington Farm, the Virginia
estate of a U.S. senator, where her father was the yearling manager. She grew up tagging along after the scion of the house, Liam. Liam was a couple of years older, but the two and his cousin Kevin had been
inseparable. Anne had, not surprisingly, developed a teenage crush on
Liam. Then, one summer evening, the lovely Leslie Bartholomew
disappeared. While her body was never found, suspicion fell on Liam,
Kevin and another young man. While no charges were filed, Anne's
protective parents sent her away to school. Anne had gone to college and veterinary school, and now practices in Maryland. Her father's sudden death brings her back to Virginia and into Liam's orbit.
Now, it would seem that Anne is a thoroughly modern miss. She is a
successful professional, after all. But the fact is that her attitudes
and behavior are more appropriate for a Regency miss rather than a 21st
century woman. She still loves Liam so what does she do? She decides to
try to make him jealous by spending time with Kevin (who just happens to have become a successful movie star). She pines and suffers for her
love. She is not like any twenty-something that I have met.
Liam seems no more contemporary than Anne. He still sees her as his
little friend, doesn't seem to realize that she has grown up, is
uncomfortable with his changing feelings. Again, perhaps such attitudes
made some sense a couple of centuries ago. They don't seem very
Perhaps one of the problems with That Summer is that Wolf has
chosen once again to write in the first person. We spend the entire
story in Anne's point of view. This is a difficult literary device to
pull off successfully. Wolf doesn't succeed here. We are treated to long descriptive, almost didactic, paragraphs that sound as if they belong in a textbook, not a romance novel. For example:
The following day, we started getting the younger horses ready to
wear saddles. We began in a stall, where they felt safe, with someone
just half laying across the youngster's back while a helper maintained
control with a lead shank. Getting a horse accustomed to weight on its
back is trickier than one might think. Nature programmed the horse to
fear weight on its back; in earlier times, it would mean that a
predator, such as a lion, had leaped down upon it. Every instinct the
young horse has goes on alarm when he feels the weight of a person
leaning on his back.
Now, clearly Joan Wolf knows and loves horses. One of the plots of
That Summer centers on the quest of Liam and his horse, Someday
Soon, to win the Triple Crown. The racing world is a potentially
fascinating setting for a romance. Indeed, Nora Roberts has used it with great success. But because we see everything through Anne's eyes - and Anne is mostly ruminating about her unrequited love for Liam - little of the excitement and pageantry of the Derby, the Preakness or the Belmont comes across.
The second plot centers on the discovery of Leslie's body and the
reopening of the search for her murderer. Liam becomes a suspect. Again, the first person narrative means that we are treated to Anne's reactions to this development, not Liam's. I might add that Anne is just sure that Liam could not have killed Leslie, to the extent that she is willing to cover up significant evidence. Both Anne and Liam act in ways that again might have been appropriate in the past, but do not seem particularly modern.
My experience with a number of examples of popular historical authors'
ventures into the contemporary market suggests that the transition is
far from easy. Life among current twenty- or even thirty-somethings is
as removed from their experiences as life in Regency England or
nineteenth century America. Hence, while their historical characters and plots may seem real, their modern characters don't.
I hope that Wolf returns to her historical roots. Or if she continues to write contemporary novels, that she regains the form that has made her one of my favorite authors. That Summer is, I fear, a

Cinnamon Does Not WORK!Posted: Tuesday, January 15, 2008
New studies have shown that cinnamon does not control blood sugars or fat levels.
Cinnamon does not appear to have any impact on blood sugar or cholesterol levels in people with diabetes, Connecticut-based researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care.
Dr. Craig I. Coleman, of Hartford Hospital, who was the principal investigator, states, "The preponderance of evidence currently available does not suggest that cinnamon has the ability to decrease a person's risk of heart disease by helping them control their diabetes or lower their cholesterol."
Several studies have looked at the impact of cinnamon on blood sugar and lipids (fats) in patients with diabetes but had only modest sample sizes and yielded mixed results, Coleman and colleagues note in their report.
This led them to perform a large review, or "meta-analysis," of five studies in which a total of 282 type 1 or type 2 diabetic patients were randomly assigned to receive cinnamon or a placebo and were followed for up to 16 weeks.
All five studies used cinnamon cassia, "the same cinnamon most people have in their spice racks at home," Coleman noted. Doses ranged from 1 to 6 grams daily.
As mentioned, the use of cinnamon did not significantly alter hemoglobin A1C. It also had no effect on fasting blood sugar levels or lipid parameters. Analyses by subgroup and sensitivity did not appreciably alter these results.

Less than 24 hours after losing Nick Markakis for the regular season with a broken thumb, the Orioles were over the shock and any accompanying woe-is-me vibe that might have rippled through their clubhouse.
And the guy in the spotlight was definitely Nate McLouth.
What a spot McLouth finds himself in. He's been with the Orioles a little over a month since being called up from Triple A- Norfolk. And now the speedy 30-year-old outfielder will be asked to bat leadoff in a pennant race and help fill the shoes of the player who's been the Orioles' chief offensive igniter the past two months.
All Marakis did before taking a 92-miles-per-hour fastball from C.C. Sabathia on his thumb was bat .335 since the All-Star break with a .390 on-base percentage. All he did was bang out 73 hits since the break, second-most in the league over that span.
No pressure, Nate McLouth.
And actually, McLouth himself says he feels none.
"You have to be yourself," McLouth said Sunday after the 13-3 spanking the Yankees laid on the Orioles at Camden Yards to regain first place in the division. "I don't compare myself to other players.
"(Markakis) is a phenomenal player no matter where he hits in the lineup. I try to do the things I'm good at and see what happens."
Buck Showalter certainly doesn't want to put any extra pressure on McLouth, either.
In fact, one of the things Showalter does best is reduce the burden of expectations on his players and help them relax. Showalter's like a double shot of bourbon that way.
But the Orioles' manager is also big on quoting lines — inspirational and otherwise — from movies. And before Sunday's game, during which Markakis was in the dugout wearing a huge cast on his left arm and a hangdog expression, the O's manager dusted off one of his favorite lines from "Apollo 13."
It's from the scene in the somber control room after there's been an explosion aboard the the space capsule and the realization has set in that the crew is in mortal danger.
"This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever faced," a NASA official says tightly.
Which is when Ed Harris, playing Gene Kranz, the unflappable flight director, answers: "With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour."
Showalter's message: maybe somebody else steps up and fills the void left by Markakis' injury.
Maybe somebody else helps the Orioles to their "finest hour" in this dogfight for the AL East title.
And who knows? Maybe that somebody is McLouth.
McLouth did his job in that Sunday train-wreck of a loss to the Yankees, that's for sure.
In the fourth inning, he drew a walk and scored on Wilson Betemit's double to right-center field.
And in the fifth inning, he drew a two-out walk and stole second with J.J. Hardy at the plate, easily beating Yankee catcher Russell Martin's throw with a pop-up slide.

FAIRBANKS -- Fairbanks voters will decide whether the borough can regulate air pollution.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports a group led by state Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, has turned in enough signatures to get the issue on the October ballot.
An initiative was passed in 2010 but still allowed the borough to regulate. The Assembly ultimately required newly installed stoves to be clean-burning designs and didn't allow chemically treated wood, garbage or railroad ties to be burned.
Wilson says she believes the borough should not regulate air quality since that's a function of the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The News-Miner says the DEC prefers the issue to be handled locally.
The federal government has given Fairbanks, which struggles with winter air pollution, until 2014 to meet air quality standards.

Columbus >Food & Dining > La Chatelaine
1550 W Ln Ave, Columbus, OH | Directions 4322140.007042 -83.052339
Mon-Sat: 7am-9pm, Sun: 8am-7pm
Great Food/Price/Service – I go to LaChatelaine at least 3 times per week because you just can't beat their bread and pastries in the morning and the great price on the gourmet dinner offerings at night. My favorite is when Chef Tad creates special occasion menus (that man is in my opinion the best chef in Columbus). The family that ownes and runs these restaurants are so warm and engaging once you have been there a few times they remember you by name and make you feel like family. I encourage anyone who has not had the pleasure of dinning at LaChatelaine to make a point of it ...you will not be disapointed.
Worst food I have ever eaten. Hands down. Really bad. – I was excited to try La Chatelaine for the first time, but I ended up seriously disappointed. The food was absolutely dismal. I have never tasted blander food. And it seemed to be very low-quality. The salmon was tasteless, the mashed potatoes were definitely made from a mix, and my boyfriend's steak was dry, flavorless, and came with the most generic, fast-food style fries. The only decent thing about our whole meal was the bread. The waiter did not bring us our salads and did not realize this at any point during the meal, maybe because he never came back to check on us after the he brought our food. The service was slow, despite the fact that they were not busy at all. Seriously horrible food. I deeply regret having gone there, when Columbus has so many other great restaurants. The French would be horrified to find out that La Chatelaine is representing their cuisine so negatively in Columbus.
Just like Europe, but with European prices! – I like this place mostly because it reminds me of Europe but it is really quite expensive for what you get. I have no idea how a bowl of soup, quiche and a water ends up being $15 bucks for lunch? The do have a great croque monsieur though! Recently I stopped there for dinner and was very disappointed. I felt that it was overpriced and not very good for a place claiming to have a CIA (Culinary Institute of America) chef.
I would recommend their soups and stick to breakfast and lunch service.
Food looks beautiful, but tastes awful – The place looks so charming, cute, rustic and as you enter, you are greeted by all those beautiful pastries behind the bakery display. I had high hopes. Unfortunately, the restaurant was a big disappointment.
The waitress was not the most friendly or helpful with menu when asked about certain items. We tried the flight of the wines which was ok... can't go terribly wrong with wines. We ordered french onion soup, but instead, we both got cream of mushroom soup. Not sure how that happened... cause cream of mushroom soup doesn't really look like a french onion soup.
I tried something similar to chicken potpie. The dish looked pretty impressive. A big scoup of white, creamy, steamy chicken mixture served on a white plate, topped with a golden brown puff pastry, baked to perfection. Well, I should have just taken a picture of it and left. I wish I hadn't taken a single bite. Yuck. It tasted awful. There was no flavor. I added some salt to see if that would help, it was little better, but the dish was beyond help. The white, creamy sauce tasted like it came out of a campbell's can of cream of mushroom soup, but worse. You can make a better dish throwing in a bunch of chicken breasts and bunch of can of cream of mushroom soup in a slow cooker- trust me, that's a real recipe I use time to time, it's delicious.
The puff pastry thing on top of my dish tasted like a puff pastry thing. It did not add much of anything to the dish, other than maybe a little bit of texture and the look. My friend had some kind of beef thing with gravy, again, it looked good and she didn't really say anything or did I taste it, so I'm not sure how other dishes are there. I don't plan on finding out.
VERY BAD SERVICE AND FOOD, RUDE OWNERS – The experiences here at La Chatelaine are about the very worst I can ever recall having had in a restaurant. As a member of a social group, we held several small group lunches here simply because of the location and all of us have agreed we will NEVER go back to this place.
The owners are RUDE, yelling and screaming at the staff and Gigi, the wife of the owner is the worst. This woman looks like she came out of some type of bordello or truck stop, bleached white hair, tacky, low class looking. No manners, no class, none of this family, and it's not due to their foreign nationality. They are just rude, low class shop owners looking to take advantage of whoever walks in and could less if their customers return. They have a very short term mentality. Not what you expect in this part of town.
There were 4 of us and everyone of us had a problem with our order and food. One order was simply taken incorrectly - entirely wrong - and they had to re do it but it took so long to re do that the rest of us were through with our meals by the time it arrived. I heard the simple order given correctly to the waitress the first time, but when they messed it up , they acted like it was our fault!
The soup was luke warm, and cheese was too warm and hard as if it'd been sitting out all day. Fries on one order were cold and the casear salad was just lettuce, nothing else. Sandwiches had very little meat on them. Very poor value, poor service and poor food for VERY HIGH PRICES. UNBELIEVABLY BAD service and attitude of owners toward guests.
A staple in their community – I would just like to say that they are a staple in each community there in. La CHatelaine is a great true french restaurant and the owners are truly amazing! Stan and Gigi are great folks who give a lot of their time and effort to the community and customers. THe food is sooooo amazing and these restaurants have become a weekly if not daily routine for my family. La CHatelaine is an experience that transports you back to France. I love it -do not change
Fantastic local eatery! – I have been coming to La Chatelaine for years and I've had nothing but fantastic experiences! The owners genuinely care about their customers, employees and products. I have hosted large parties there before and the service has been wonderful each time. True, they are occasionally out of some items, but that's understandable when you have such a fresh and desirable product!
POOR SERVICE, OVERPRICED, Mediocre food at best – I just read the prior reviews and certainly can understand the situation and negative reviews. Having dined at the Worthington and Lane locations, I can attest to the fact that it is the same poor experience at both locations. The owners are rude and could care less about customers. I've heard them yell at employees, many of whom appear to be high school, college age students, and also customers. I witnessed the owner's daughter, Charlotte (overweight, dark haired young girl) yelling at one of the young workers for dropping a bagette on the floor and the owner's daugher picked it up from the floor, brushed it off, put it up on the cutting board and sliced it and then placed it on the next unsuspecting diner's plate to come in the door and through the cafeteria line! They are disorganized, the young staff isn't trained and can be found standing around while customers wait in line. They are often out of the brickettes and quiches or if they aren't, they are old and you can tell they've been sitting under the warmer too long and they don't taste good. Prices are very high for food that is mediocre at best.
Worst customer service in the United States – There are many businesses who strive to have good relations with their customers but this is not wone of them. They are almost abusive and even the atmosphere upon entering is negative. The negative reviews are not exaggerated. These people need to go back to France. You either go by their rules or else you are asked to leave. No, not asked, kicked out! This is an unbelievable place and their menu is almost the same as the day they opened the door. Try just buying a loaf of bread. They seem to resent selling it to you.
Wonderful! Authentic! Pleasant! Allez-y! (Go there!) – Having lived in Luxembourg for 4 years, I am pleased to find an authentic boulangerie & patisserie. This section of the restaurant alone is well worth the trip. Apple turn-overs, mousse au chocolat, gateaux (cakes), tartes (pies), and the like are delicieux! The saying is that one tastes something in 3 steps: with the eyes, with the nose, then with the palate. From presentation to tasting, these treats are a delight!
Additionally, and being a French teacher, I am grateful that Val and his family have always treated my family, my students, and me with a pleasant demeanor. They have accommodated the French field trips that my students and I have taken on several occasions. The students look forward to this opportunity and see it as a great time to eat and enjoy the atmosphere...and to learn a little French along the way!
I have never disliked anything I've tried at La Chatelaine. The soupe a l'oignon with baguette is a favorite starter. The croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese), spaghettis a la Gigi, and the cheese plate have been wonderful additions. The salade verte (green salad) is a nice way to finish. Mousse au chocolat is a favorite for my students and for myself.
Again, always a good meal, pleasant atmosphere, and good price for value. Keep the tradition going!
Bon appetit!

Last year to show support for a little girl named Katie who was bullied for liking Star Wars, fans everywhere wore their Star Wars shirts to show support for "May The Force Be With Katie Day."
This year, on Dec. 16, Katie's mom urges fans to show off their Star Wars pride by wearing a Star Wars shirt — but to also consider donating a Star Wars gift to toy drives with the condition that it can go to a boy OR a girl, not just a boy! This helps spread the word that Star Wars is for both girls and boys!
Read more about this special event here:
Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars Day
Carrie Goldman (Katie's mom) writes:
Please join us in the second annual Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars event on December 16, 2011. Celebrate this day of geek pride and anti-bullying by wearing something Star Wars or science fiction-related.
Since it is the holiday season, please also celebrate the day by donating a Star Wars or science fiction toy to a child in need (but be sure to put a post-it note on the new, unwrapped toy specifying that it can go to a girl or a boy; otherwise, these traditional "boy toys" will be given only to boys!)
You can bring the toy to a hospital, a shelter, or drop it off with any organization collecting toys. Feel free to host a similar toy drive at your child's school, although you could call it "Proud To Be Me Day," like Katie's school does, so that the reach goes beyond science fiction.
Here's our goal: let's get Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars to spread to as many people as possible! Every time you read or write a blog post about the event or upload a photo of what you'll be wearing, share it on Twitter with the hashtag #WearStarWarsShareStarWars.
If you are on Facebook, you can join the event here.

"When I left Columbia, they told me I'd probably have to come back and repeat a few classes," Warren Buffett, MS '51, deadpanned as he took the stage with Bill Gates on Thursday as part of a community forum at Columbia Business School. More than 700 students from the Business School were in attendance at the event, which was filmed for global broadcast by CNBC.
A major theme of the 90-minute Q&A session was optimism about U.S. economic prosperity in the long-term, with a nod to future energy issues. That theme underscored Buffett's comments about Berkshire Hathaway's recent acquisition of Burlington Northern Santa Fe for $34 billion last week.
"The railroads are tied to the future prosperity of this country. You can't move a railroad to China or India or anywhere else," he said. "As the country grows, the transport of goods will grow — [people] will be moving more and more goods back and forth to each other. And you have the most environmentally friendly and the most efficient way of doing that on the railroads."
The theme returned later in Gates' discussion about areas he sees with the most growth potential in the United States. He said those include information technology, energy and medicine. Gates discussed the growing field of alternative energy as a driver for a long-term economic development.
"Solar-thermal, solar-electric, nuclear [energy] is going to go through some of the revival and see if it can solve some of its cost challenges. As a country, we want to make sure all of those get lots of R&D and regulatory enablement because one of them is going to give us much cheaper power," he said. "We don't have quite as much R&D going into those things as I'd like to see. We have quite a bit, but I think the government policies could drive for more." He added that he foresees an energy revolution and the United States is expected to lead the way.
Buffett also discussed his value-investing strategy, saying that it had not changed in light of the financial crisis and the fundamentals were the same. "We like companies with a durable, competitive advantage," he said. On the economy, both Buffett and Gates lauded the actions of the government and the Federal Reserve.
Both men offered advice and inspiration to students. (Marry the right person, said Buffett. Act on your self-confidence, Gates added). Buffett signaled his optimism for future MBA graduates of Columbia Business School, making a promising offer to those in the audience.
"I would pay a $100,000 dollars for 10 percent of the future earnings of any of you," Buffett said. "If that's true, you're a million-dollar asset right now."
CNBC will broadcast "Warren Buffett and Bill Gates: Keeping America Great" moderated by Becky Quick on November 12 at 9 p.m. and 12 a.m. ET . Join the conversation with other students on Facebook and on Twitter.

Lindsay Lohan has been taking digs at Kristen Stewart.
Lindsay will guest host tonight's episode of "Chelsea Lately." In a preview clip, referring to an incident in which Kristen yelled at a photographer, LiLo quipped, "I'm just excited that Kristen Stewart, you know, finally showed some emotion."
The "Mean Girl" backpedaled a bit, saying, "No I really do love her. She's awesome. I'm a Kristen Stewart fan."
However, she continued to rag on the "Twilight" star. "I will say this, of course she hates photographers -- they got a picture of her kissing a married man in a Mini Cooper."
Ouch! Given past run-ins with the law, and being fresh out of rehab, we're not sure she's in the position to be ripping on other celebs.
Who else has LiLo dissed in the past?
Back in September 2012, Amanda Bynes' car was impounded for driving with a suspended license. "The Canyons" star was not happy, believing that Amanda had gotten off easy. As she tweeted, "Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?"
What did Nickelodeon ever do to you, LiLo?
There's no love lost between Lindsay and Jennifer Lawrence. Back in September 2012, Jennifer talked about an embarrassing mom moment . "My mom talked about Hunger Games on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, which was something I had told her a million times not to do. She's like Dina Lohan! - but she has good taste."
In January 2013, LiLo returned the favor when JLaw rubbed a few fans the wrong way by declaring, "I beat Meryl" during her Golden Globe Award acceptance speech.
As Lindsay tweeted, "No one should ever mess with a legend, such as Meryl Streep." Jennifer later explained that the "I beat Meryl" comment was actually a quote from the "First Wives Club," and that she hadn't intended to diss Meryl.
Back in 2006, Lindsay apparently wrote some vulgar things about Scarlett Johansson on a bathroom stall. ScarJo had no idea what could have provoked the attack. As she explained, "I don't know what the motivation was. I remember it was something really vulgar - I mean shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?' "
Could it be that LiLo is jealous of Scarlett's success? In 2009, Lindsay talked about not getting the same work opportunities as other actresses. As she explained, "What hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life."
Lindsay's segment on "Chelsea Lately" airs tonight at 11pm on E!

1. Although he asked me to marry him, he realizes now that he did it to not lose me not because he really wanted to be married. We were living in separate cities and I just either wanted to work on being together or move on. So he "locked me down" through marriage but continued to feel entitled to sleep around because he was resentful that he was "trapped".
2. He has HUGE abandonment issues due to FOO and intimacy is very scary to him. Very much a strike first mentality.
3. He was very immature and very selfish. The whole world was all about what HE got out of it. He had almost no natural empathy. However, he was a fabulous actor and had everybody (not just me ) fooled about what a great guy he was - how much integrity he had.
4. He had very low self-esteem and completely fell for the ego stroking of being "wanted". He also had no idea what marriage was because both parents were drunks and fought visciously all the time.
5. He was an alcholic. Will probably always be but has (for the most part) stopped drinking. He was supplied booze and drugs by his older brother since before teenage- hood. His older brother and friends thought is was funny to get him high (on shit like heroin for christ's sake ) when he was 12.
6. He was exposed to sex at a very young age. He shared a bedroom with his older brother who would bring women into the room when my H was "asleep" and fuck them in the bed next to him. Obviously, he has some sexual issues...borderline SA with some other crap thrown in.
He is completely remorseful and is working as hard as possible on himself. I actually think he has made great strides. However, I am still waiting to see if I can move forward. I want payback, I want revenge on the LTA OW, I have a lot of anger and a lot of sadness. At least I have SI.
Before I got involved with LT xOM, (beside the fact that my PA was open to Mr.beach) I had a profile in AFF for total 4 years (2 years before and during) and 2 years after that. I had two ONS (with same person) after I ended with xOM thinking it would help me to forget xOM, but it only gave me the empty feeling inside of me. So
. I think, my sitch is qualified to contribute my insight and hope it is helpful for all of you.
I had abandonment issues from my childhood. My parents are critical of me and I was not good enough no matter what I do. I always worried about what other sees/think of me.
I never went to 12 step program or IC to overcome my core issue. Reading and posting here and abandonment support forum, helped me. Oh and the books that helped me were "Sex, Women and addiction" by Charlotte Kasl and "Journey from Abandonment to Healing" by Susan Anderson.
I am 1.5 year out. My lifestyle changed and I am much happier. My boundary wall is up high. It gives me creepy feeling, if any guys looks at me in the sexual way now. I don't want any turn heads. I have no desire to go back to where I was.. I am not empty inside anymore and I can feel love is generating for me, thus I don't need any external validation anymore. I feel blessed every day. Starting with respecting and loving myself, appreciate what I have helped me a lot!!!
The way the OPs made FWSs feel. Many stroking egos....My XOM was out of league (younger, artistic, lean athretic, musician looks). Over time, I made him up as a fantasy boyfriend. Even though I was married, but I was thinking of myself as a wife and I was a royal girlfriend to xOP at the same time and I wanted to be connected with him 24/7. XOM's telling me we were hot looking couple and that having xOM being into me made me feel I still 'got' it, didn't help. It made me fell like I was acting in the fantasy world. Acting out with the ideal fantasy lover in the limited time, sex became intense and leaving me the feeling of wanting for more and looking forward to the next meeting. It gave me the high and was getting addictive activities for me.
Speaking from my own experience, when most FWSs were not in the normal 24/7 relationship with xAP and not in the marrieage where there is no domestic responsibilities, taking care of kids, or paying the bills, most WS tend to rominticize xAP looking through the rose colored glasses and think xAP is ideal person in their view. Limited time meetings/communication fuels the fantasy world and it enabled FWSs to perpetuate the fantasies and became the intense meeting/chat session and look forward to the next session.
I hope this makes sense.
*Healthy love isn't a secret
*Healthy love doesn't deceive anyone
*Healthy love doesn't leave you in a state of confusion
*Healthy love doesn't cause resentment
*Healthy love doesn't have you 'waiting, just in case'
*Healthy love isn't bits and pieces of your partners time
*Healthy love doesn't have you lower your expectations
I think it's obvious our partners were struggling with demons, where they came from is beside the point. And I think, beach, my H feels quite the same as you do now. He's not looking for strokes from anyone else. However, he's not giving them to himself either. I can hear it when he talks. Even last week.... almost 7 years since his A ended, and 3 years since his last "alone time with a woman" he still hates himself so much.
I'm finding great help in the "how to fix your marriage without talking about it" book, along with the Harriett Lerner "Dance" series. They've helped me more than 2 1/2 years of MC that's for sure.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
Im glad your H is in IC. My FWH learned so much about himself and the whys there.
Sometimes I look at all his progress and I am so happy about that, but also I realize just how stuck I am.....he is moving forward and I am stuck.
I say to myself...just accept the things that have happened...you can't change it, and there is nothing that FWH can do to take it back ....I really can't think of anything he could do that would make it all better for me. He is doing all that he can.
But I struggle along, pushing back the bad thoughts and memories, comparing myself to the OW and coming up short, fearing everytime FWH has a bad day that he is slipping back into the old behaviours.
I just want peace....I am praying for it. I don't want all these crappy memories and hurtful feelings.

So sorry you find yourself here.....2 weeks is such a short time ago, you are still probably reeling and it is hard to make decisions when your emotions are up and down. keep reading here and posting. There are lots of wise people here.

Cleo - this is exactly where I am. He can't do more but I am stuck. I think he "owes" me but when he asks what he can do I don't have an answer. I just want everyone to suffer as much as I am. Not very nice but the truth.
D007 - at your stage I couldn't even function, type, eat. I had to remind myself to breathe. You are so fresh. He will take time to come out of the fog of who he was and what he did. The fact that he doesn't think the EAs were a problem tells me he has a long way to go. (((((D007)))))
(((disappointed))) I am so sorry.....
I was in the cocoon (having a celibacy from former A lifestyle) phase to prepare to be virgin again for my H. I even avoided all sexy stuffs (sex scene on TV and movie) that triggerd/reminded my wild A lifestyle. For the first 6 months, if I see those reminder, it made me miss the xOM, after that 6 months period, it made me sick. I finally regained the thought about looking nice for me and my H. What helped me was I just needed to reconnect myself and need to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin. And then I was able to learn how to love and respect myself.
ETA: Oh and I changed my lifestyle, such as uninstalled IM, stopped watching junk TVs (dramas, primetime soap), because it perpetuated the junky mind.. That also helped me.

I know my FWH has made some lifestyle changes and boundary changes that have reshaped the way he looks at life and himself....for the better.
I really mourn all those years, and go back and forth from wanting to excise them from my memory...but then all the good things with my kids happened during that time too.
I also think it is hard for me to do it because with two of the OW I found out and he promised not to do it again. But he went ahead and had As with more women anyway. So there is that extra measure of conscious thought that went into the decisions on his part.
Anyone have some other successful coping measures in regards to dealing with this??

I know you are hurting...hang in there
However, this can be destructive in the R process. There is NOTHING they can do to make it up. All WS can do is be the spouse they are supposed to be from here on out.
11 years is a lot, if you know my story, I share the same with you. However I try to look at it this way, my H and I have many more years ahead of us especially if you include eternity if you believe that families are forever.
The love bank just needs to get filled and that takes time. Plus we have to make sure we allow our WS to actually deposit in it. Give them an environment so they feel they are investing in something good. Positive reinforcement is good for the heart. It helps our WS with their motivation to do what's right.
Don't get me wrong, I have the same negative thoughts and vengeful feelings like others. I just want to share what I try to argue in my mind to hopefully stem the nastiness that I know is NOT me and will never be the new me.
True love is harder to come by than soul mates. True love requires work.
Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. There is no cure for being an idiot.
The last time I kicked him out for about 7 months or so, and after the initial 3 months, he started to really act like he screwed up and knew it. So, eventually, i let him worm his way back into my heart. And, honestly, these past 5 years have been wonderful. I did have some depression and anxiety issues and then some problems being sexual with him (gee, go figure!) but eventually, I worked through it ALL so that we could recommit. I was so happy.
Then, last December, I found some pix from a girl at his office. She was wearing a white tank top w/no bra. The pix were obvious in their intent. I blew a fuse! He said then that he sees that he was getting ready to fall into the same patterns, and thankfully he didn't and it's over and how could he and omg. i also phoned her and demanded that she realize that he was married, she was married, and take this chance and run with it.
fast forward to a few months ago when their 'flirtation' started up again on cigarette breaks at work. oh, and let me mention, he only goes into the office 2 effing days a week. well, on august 7, she invited him to her sister's apt. so that they could fulfill their fuckfest.
her husband let me know on sept. 11. my world is a shambles. i cannot believe that he fucking pulled the wool over my eyes AGAIN. what does that say about me?!? I believed him!~ I wanted to believe in him.
Now, he is out of the house again. our 8 year old realizes that his daddy 'broke a big rule in marriage'...this is the first time he is looking for help from IC, this is the first time he is trying to see my pain. but, when do you get too the 'just too damned late' point?!? i honestly think i should have crossed that point YEARS ago.
Trying, once again, to make a go of it.
but, when do you get too the 'just too damned late' point?!?
2, my point is if I see ANY questionable or objectional behavior around women. I mean a ride home, touching, talking without my presence... anything. That's my "enough" point right now. I will not allow myself to be fooled again.
career, I know my H has changed because his attitude has, for the most part. He has his slips and his avoidance and his anger issues still. But instead of getting a response like "oh dear, what can I do to fix this for you, what did I do to make you so angry and upset, what do I need to change?" He's now getting met with "Your problem" from me. I've had to force him to face that it's HIM making issues, not me.
I just keep an eye on him. And he makes himself as transparent as he can.
i'm so stuck right now. how do i think about R with a man who consistently flirted with, kissed, called, emailed, FUCKED other women? How do I consider R with a man who, for years, put me down, 2nd, fortieth, effing LAST on his list??? how do i stay in love with a man who has forsaken me, my love, OUR CHILD for the cheap thrills of a dirty whore? How could i possibly still be in love with a man who told someone other than me (and with him, it was many someones) that he loved them... whether or not he meant it????
but, how do i walk away from the man i have loved these many long, tiring years? how do i start over at almost 42? how do i give up everything i fought so vehemently for? uproot my son? go where...to my mom's house?!?
sweet Jesus, the pain in my heart is so intense...i know i don't have to tell any of you about it.
and, then, look at his posts (Ipsiad) and the way he is FINALLY striving to fix what is wrong with himself. Fix what he did to our family. FINALLY trying to see the absolute and horrifying pain that I have lived in for all of these years.
i'm exhausted. i wish that it was easier. i thank you for just listening and being around!
I don't know how you really look at the multiples, the years and ever think "Now, isn't he just the greatest?"
I was talking to a dear, dear friend last night who has known my H for over 40 years. I said to her "you are my hero. you left your good for nothing first husband with two kids to support, no house ( because her H put it into forclosure ) fought alcoholism and won, beat lung cancer and found an amazing man at age 48." Her second husband loves her, she loves him, and on top of that he's loaded. I told her she gave ME hope.
I found out about my H's affairs when I was 51 years old. We'll be married 30 years next July. My ONLY family is his family. My kids have 18 cousins, 16 aunts and uncles, the only grandparents alive and you know what? If he did it again, I'd walk in a minute and I'd walk with my head held high and I'd TELL why. He knows that now.
I vowed I would never allow my children to grow up as I did with a father that ran around and a mother that was alternately angry and weak. She threw him out finally and the hell afterward was just as bad. So I stayed initially because of that vow to myself to take care of my kids' futures. He knew that was the only reason I stayed at first too.
But you know, he was grateful that I stayed for whatever the reason. He knew he screwed up big time, he knew he deserved me leaving, telling the world, taking his kids and I think for over a year was profoundly shocked that I stayed. I think he even tried to push me into divorce because he felt undeserving of an intact marriage.
Our spouses risked everything for nothing. They know it. And remember they have to live with that too.
Give yourself some time alone, read the 180 rules, try to focus on yourself and your child, don't rush into anything right now. Let him prove to you for as long as it takes that he's changed. If he gives up, you'll know his true character. The one thing I give my H credit for is that I blasted him every single day for over a year. Every day and he stayed and took it. That's what gave him his chance to stay. Because he absolutely refused to give up.

Facebook: The worst thing that's ever happened to humanity
Getty Images
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks during a news conference at Facebook headquarters on October 6, 2010 in Palo Alto, California.
OK, maybe not the worst thing. But according to Harvard Business Review blogger Daniel Gulati, not exactly a force for happiness:
When Facebook was founded in 2004, it began with a seemingly innocuous mission: to connect friends. Some seven years and 800 million users later, the social network has taken over most aspects of our personal and professional lives, and is fast becoming the dominant communication platform of the future.
But this new world of ubiquitous connections has a dark side. In my last post, I noted that Facebook and social media are major contributors to career anxiety. After seeing some of the comments and reactions to the post, it's clear that Facebook in particular takes it a step further: It's actually making us miserable.
He goes on. This is my favorite part:
[Facebook is] creating a den of comparison. Since our Facebook profiles are self-curated, users have a strong bias toward sharing positive milestones and avoid mentioning the more humdrum, negative parts of their lives. Accomplishments like, "Hey, I just got promoted!" or "Take a look at my new sports car," trump sharing the intricacies of our daily commute or a life-shattering divorce. This creates an online culture of competition and comparison. One interviewee even remarked, "I'm pretty competitive by nature, so when my close friends post good news, I always try and one-up them."

705 N Broadway, St Louis, MO | Directions 6310238.630962 -90.188007
Neighborhoods: Downtown St. Louis (East), Saint Louis, Downtown East
It was absolutely horrible. I tried it out because I had a Groupon voucher. I hate that I bypassed Olive Garden to go to this place. The food tasted like it was prepackaged and served in a grocery store. The atmosphere felt like a cheap blues club rather than Italian. Everything was stale from the bread to the entree. When it was time to cash out, the lady didn't even want to honor the Groupon voucher. The added extra items to our bill and overall, a nasty meal that should have cost $20 without a coupon costed $40 with a Groupon voucher and $85 without one!! Totally disgusting place. I see why they are on the brink of going out of business! Go to Olive Garden before going to this place. Total waste of money!!!
Just Awful – We went to celebrate and occassion for a friend and I was totally disappointed. We were seated 45 mins after our reservation. They brought out butter, but no rolls. When the rolls finally arrived they were over cooked and obviously out of a package as some one did not even think to separate them before putting them in the baskets for the tables.
We were seated an additional 20 mins before our drink order was taken. It was then that we began notices that there was filth floating in the water glasses. Some of us had to repeatedly send our water glasses back only to be brought a glass with more floating filth.
My glass of wine cost almost as much as my entree and my glass had hardened filth on the side, which I scraped off with my fingernail.
We were offered salads which were totally overpriced for lettuce, cheese, onion, with oil and vinegar. I wouldn't have paid $2 for it, but it cost almost $5 in addition to our overpriced entrees. Mine was completely tasteless and my husband's had a hair in it.
To add to the utter disappointment, they were out of some wines and some of the entrees, limiting our choices.
Overall, I would never waste my time or money on this place again!
A great experience (even though the Rockies lost) – Went to a Cards v Colorado Rockies game (from Colorado) Must say this was the BEST OF ALL THE MEALS my daughter and I had the whole time we were down there. Can't wait to get back this yr.
The service was excellent, the food was truly a DELECTARE!
Best Rehearsal Dinner Venue – After a delightful year of planning and searching for the perfect rehearsal dinner venue, my husband and I discovered J. F. Sanfilippo's Restaurant on North Broadway, downtown St. Louis. It was the eighth restaurant we tried, and by now the wedding was five months away. From our first visit in August and at each of our following visits (once you go you just can't stop), right up to and including our rehearsal dinner last week, we not only enjoyed the most delicious Italian food, but also the warmest and most welcoming staff we have ever encountered anywhere. Joe, owner and chef, never forgets you and genuinely hopes to make you a friend for life, not just a customer. His lovely sister Connie, takes care of the front, and is truly a friend you just haven't met yet.. Joe and Connie's mother is an integral part of the kitchen magic making her fabulous dinner rolls that everyone wants to fight over. Our rehearsal dinner menu included three selections from Sanfilippo's regular menu as a combined trio on the plate; Pollo al Limone (lemon chicken), Tenderloin Danny Cox (beef tenderloin with eggplant, tomato sauce, and mozzarella), and Rigatoni Giuseppe (rigatoni pasta, perfectly al dente, in a cream tomato and vodka sauce with a bit of spice). All of our guests, twenty three total, loved the food and asked how we discovered such a great restaurant. Dessert choices are many and worth saving room for. We offered a choice of Tiramisu or cheesecake, both rich and fresh, putting that final touch on a truly wonderful meal. The room itself, which will accommodate up to fifty, I believe, is a warm, relaxing space, bathed in an orange glow from the wood accents, and, of course, offers a touch of the old country with Italian mural decorations as well. The lighting is soft and lends beautiful atmosphere, but not dark. You can read the menu and see your food! The attending staff at our dinner was timely, swift, courteous, friendly, and professional. We took over the room at 6:00pm and left by around 10:00 - 10:30pm and never felt rushed or as if we were on any time line at all. We are very happy with our choice of Sanfilippo's and are friends now, not just customers. We highly recommend this restaurant for and event or just a lovely dinner experience. If you love exquisite Italian food and warm wonderful service, this is the place to go.

About us
The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon has today published two pamphlets as part of the series The Value of the Arts. The pamphlets have been written by journalist Emer O'Kelly and poet John McAuliffe.
Speaking today, Mary Cloake, Director of the Arts Council said, "The pamphlet series was commissioned to encourage consideration of the many ways in which the arts impact upon our lives. We are delighted to issue another two pamphlets in the series, and we thank both Emer and John for sharing their views with us. We hope the varied opinions contained in the pamphlets will provoke discussion and focus attention on the crucial role the arts can and do play in our lives as individuals, and as part of our wider society."
In her pamphlet entitled The Case for Elitism Ms O'Kelly says, "The Arts Council has a duty to Elitism. This does not mean that it excludes people by its support for only the very best there is. It must trumpet and herald the best so loudly, and push it into the public consciousness so vehemently that the appetite for the best is whetted and the imaginative parameters are burst wide open." John McAuliffe in his pamphlet, The Siren Alps states, "The individual and the community are central to the arts, but the reverse is also true: the arts change lives and have the power to change a community's idea about itself. People of all ages see them as part of their daily or weekly life, and for many others they act as a resource or an escape at particular moments in their lives."
The prompt for the campaign was the publication of the study, The Public and the Arts in December of 2006. The study shows contradictory findings - people consider the arts to be important, even if they do not personally attend at formal arts event. This has prompted consideration of the many ways in which the arts influence day to day life, albeit sometimes invisibly.
The first pamphlets were published in May as part of the campaign to create awareness of The Value of the Arts. Throughout the summer there has been ongoing debate on local radio about the value of the arts and the various ways in which the arts make a central contribution to our society.
Partnership for the Arts, the framework document drawn up as a collaboration by the Arts Council and the arts community, sets out a path for the arts for the next few years. For this to be fully implemented, Arts Council funding will need to be increased by €20 million in 2008. Investment in the arts will also help to develop and sustain employment in the arts.
